Burnley’s Pursuit of Tactical Flair: Can They Elevate Their Game?

Burnley Seek Attacking Boost Against In-Form Oxford United in EFL Championship Clash

Burnley’s watertight defense has been the highlight of their EFL Championship campaign so far, with the Clarets conceding just nine goals in 30 matches. However, a lack of firepower has seen Scott Parker’s men sit third in the table, behind leaders Leeds United. With three of their last four games ending in goalless draws, Burnley will be hoping to rediscover their scoring touch against an Oxford United side who have gone nine games unbeaten in the league.

Oxford have only kept two clean sheets in their last seven outings, suggesting that Burnley’s drought in front of goal could come to an end at Turf Moor. The Clarets are 2/5 favorites with BoyleSports, and combining the home win with over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 20/23. Over 2.5 match goals is priced at 11/10 by the same bookmaker.

Queens Park Rangers vs Blackburn Rovers: A Tight Encounter Expected

In the other EFL Championship fixture tonight, Queens Park Rangers host Blackburn Rovers in a tight encounter. QPR have enjoyed a strong run of form, losing just once in their last 13 league games, but have lost momentum in recent weeks, suffering back-to-back defeats.

Blackburn, on the other hand, have seen their play-off push suffer a blow with three successive defeats, but they bounced back with a derby win over Preston last time out. This game is tricky to call, and the 10/11 offered by BoyleSports for the half-time draw looks an appealing option, given that it landed when Rovers won 2-0 in the reverse fixture.

Atalanta vs Bologna: Goals Expected in Italian Cup Quarter-Final

Turning to European football, the quarter-final tie between Atalanta and Bologna in the Italian Cup is the focus. After a stunning run of 11 successive Serie A victories, Atalanta have gone off the boil a little, winning just two of their last nine in all competitions.

However, they face a Bologna side who have found form, with just one defeat in their last 14 outings. Despite that, Vincenzo Italiano’s men are BoyleSports’ 10/3 outsiders tonight in Bergamo, with Atalanta priced as 4/6 favorites.

Given Atalanta’s attacking prowess, combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes tonight pays 6/5 at BoyleSports, while over 9.5 corners, as seen in the 1-1 draw earlier this season, looks good at 11/8.
